Abstract

In the field of drug delivery system, there are numerous new formulation techniques. Microsponge are one of the most recent novel technique which are gaining popularity now days due to their use of controlled release and targeted drug delivery system. Microsponge technology offers entrapment of ingredient and is believed to contribute towards reduced side effect, improved stability, increase elegance and enhanced formulation flexibility. In addition, microsponges are non-irritating, non-mutagenic, non-allergenic and non-toxic. One of the best features of microsponge is its self-sterilizing ability. Microsponges are porous, polymeric microspheres that are used mostly for topical use and have recently been used for oral administration. Microsponges are designed to deliver a pharmaceutical active ingredient efficiently at the minimum dose. This review is focused on compilation of all recent application of novel approach microsponge.
